Abstract:
Gender sensitivity is a process by which individuals are made mindful of
how sexual orientation plays a critical parcel in life through overseeing
others. This study aims to determine gender sensitivity in a physical
education class in one state college. It employs a descriptive type of
research. The respondents are the Physical Education students taking up
P.E.102 and P.E.224. In this study, the mean and t-test were used as
statistical tools. Study shows that P.E. 102 (Rhythmic Activities) classes
are female-dominated with a strong willingness to explore their talents
and skills, while males have limited participation due to reservations.
Moreover, P.E.224 (Team Sports) is male-dominated where males
showed too much interest in ballgames, while females are reserved and
less motivated. Females needed more time for training to master certain
skills. Moreover, the study's results showed that there is no
distinguishable difference in the degree of gender sensitivity in Physical
Education Classes as perceived by the students when taken as a whole and
when grouped according to sex. Therefore, it is recommended that
teachers of Physical Education classes should develop a method that is the
interactive type to increase gender sensitivity among students. The
development of instructional intervention by the faculty and
administration to increase awareness of gender issues should be
encouraged as mandated.
